A food company advertised noodles as spinach-rich, but the packet contained only 1.2% spinach and 80% refined flour. This greenwashing tactic makes unhealthy products look nutritious on the label while hiding what's actually inside.
I had gone to the grocery store and I noticed something that left me shocked. I saw this packet of Atta noodles. It said things like, filled with the goodness of spinach in every bite, nutritious source of fiber and iron. I became fascinated. I picked it up and I turned it around to read the ingredient list. And guess how much spinach it had? Only 1.2%. What was the rest? Maida. That packet was 80% maida. That's when I realized there's a marketing gimmick being used today called greenwashing. It's when a food company promotes a product as organic or all-natural or green in order to fool us to think that the product is actually healthy, when in reality only one of the many ingredients may be organic or natural. The rest of it could all just be sugar, artificial colors, preservatives, and refined nasty stuff. Don't fall so easily into the trap because that product is not just costing you your money, but you're also paying for it with your health.
